Hello there,<br />
<br />
I am new to certificates and have a windows 2003 server web server which has a ssl certificate installed. We are in the process of retiring the 2003 server and have migrated all the applications to the new 2008 server. I would like to know if I can take the certificate installed on the 2003 server and export / import it to the new 2008 server. <br />
<br />
appreciate your time and support.
